Neurogenx is an Innovative Foot Neuropathy Treatment Offered by Our Idaho Foot Doctors
Whether your neuropathy is a result of chronic conditions such as diabetes, post-chemotherapy effects, physical injuries, or genetic predisposition, finding effective relief is often a challenge. Canyon Foot + Ankle Specialists offer Neurogenx, an advanced neuropathy treatment that's offering new hope to people who've struggled to find relief through conventional methods. Learn more about this FDA-approved technology and how it might help you.
What’s Neurogenx Treatment?
This procedure combines electronic signal technology (EST) with local anesthetics to treat peripheral neuropathy. It delivers a sophisticated electronic signal—featuring a wide frequency range of 400 Hz to 40,000 Hz—that generates a waveform similar to your body’s natural electrical current.
Some studies assess that electrical stimulation is a viable form of rehabilitation. When applied to the affected nerves, it:
- Stimulates cellular metabolism.
- Promotes nerve fiber regeneration.
- Removes excess fluids and waste products.
- Helps reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Normalizes pH levels.
Neurogenx is designed to address the root cause of neuropathy, not just mask the symptoms. As a form of regenerative medicine, it aims to provide long-lasting relief and improved nerve function.
What’s a Typical Treatment Like?
Once our Idaho podiatrists at Canyon Foot + Ankle complete a thorough medical history and neuropathy diagnosis, we customize a course of Neurogenx treatment for you featuring one or two sessions each week, each lasting approximately 20–30 minutes, for up to six weeks. Some of our patients benefit from a little more, others a little less. During these sessions, you’ll receive a combination of EST through electrodes placed on the skin and local anesthetics to allow for a relatively pain-free procedure.
Another advantage of Neurogenx is that it's non-invasive. Unlike surgical interventions, this treatment doesn't require incisions or lengthy recovery periods. Patients report that they usually resume normal activities immediately after each session.
How Neurogenx Specifically Addresses Foot Neuropathy
Our patients develop peripheral neuropathy for numerous reasons. Unfortunately, their individual symptoms often affect their mobility and quality of life.
What we strive to provide is proper medical management for their foot condition and advanced treatment methods like Neurogenx to encourage more natural healing.
Here are just a few benefits we hope you’ll experience from this dedicated attention to care.
- Enhanced blood flow. The electronic signals stimulate blood vessels, which help deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged nerves. As this video explains, we have a series of tests we conduct to determine how your circulation improves with continued treatment.
- Nerve re-education. Neurogenx's signals mimic the body's natural nerve signals, helping to "re-educate" damaged nerves and restore normal function.
- Cellular repair. The treatment stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate, the energy source cells need for repair and regeneration.
- Inflammation control. While your body’s natural inflammatory response is helpful after an injury, too much of it is a contributing factor to neuropathy pain. Neurogenx helps reduce inflammation by encouraging a different healing reaction.
- Improved sensation. Many people report regaining feeling in their feet, which significantly improves balance, reduces the risk of falls, and encourages more confident mobility.
- Reduced pain. Certainly one of the strongest benefits Neurogenx may provide is a decrease in the burning, tingling, and shooting pains associated with neuropathy. As a result, you’ll likely sleep better and not need as much medication.
Is Neurogenx Right for You?
Maybe you’ve tried other traditional neuropathy treatments, such as steroids or numbing agents, but still haven’t found relief. It's worth a call to learn more about Neurogenx and its promising results. However, keep in mind that every case is unique. Factors such as the underlying cause of your neuropathy, its severity, and different health conditions all influence treatment outcomes.
We also work with your primary care provider before recommending this treatment if you’re currently experiencing a bacterial infection or another form of local cellulitis, an untreated foot wound, or deep vein thrombosis.
Additionally, Neurogenx isn’t recommended if:
- You’re pregnant.
- You have a spinal cord stimulator.
- You have a demand-type pacemaker or defibrillator.
But if none of these health circumstances apply to you and you're struggling with foot neuropathy, Neurogenx at Canyon Foot + Ankle Specialists might be a possible solution. Since 2006, we’ve stayed committed to delivering world-class care right here at home in the Magic Valley.
